Family button scroll over – add children to popup?

[Dave]

Howard,

I must compliment you on adding the "option-scroll over" to show vital information on an individual. I noticed this also works when scolling over the Family button. Could you add the number of children in the particular family to the scroll over pop up? This would be useful in cases where a couple each had a second partner and each of the four unions had children.

Just an idea, I promised I'd come up with some thing.

The second something is I would like to see the small black triangle back above the "About help" "Find Person" etc. buttons to hide them when not needed. This would give a few more lines of useable screen real estate.

Hi Dave and everyone else,

My motherboard burned and I have no computer at present. I expect a replacement at the end of the week. I'm using my lady's computer when necessary. So I will get back to you when I can.

Best,

Ok, got the replacement computer and am up and running again, Friday 28 April 07.

As to putting back the disclosure arrow, it won't really save any screen space since all the other windows would still be the same depth as now.

Adding the number of children to the Family button option-rollover is really redundant since you can just click on the Children button to see how many children there are, and who they are. Ditto for the parents' Family button.

Note the option-rollover also works in the Pedigree and Descent people's buttons. It was originally added there first to overcome just displaying names, and has been around for many versions.

Best,
Howard
